"Ha-ha … it's good that little Mo came back safely!
Look at you guys. Can't you be a little more promising?
What are you crying for? This is supposed to be a happy occasion! "
Tiger on the Road's hearty voice rang as he walked next to Li Mo with Leng Yihan and Ling Xiyu.
"It's been so long since we last met, little guy. You seem to have gotten stronger!"
Ling Xiyu smiled as he sized Li Mo up.
Leng Yihan was as cold as ever. He didn't speak, but the concern in his eyes was clear for all to see.
"Alright!
Alright!
Let's talk after dinner. "
In the end, it was Han Tianyu who spoke and everyone returned to their seats. Li Mo and his four friends sat together, enjoying the joy of reunion.
…
"That's Li Mo?
The champion of the martial arts competition?
There's nothing special about him. He's only at the 45 level! "
"He-he … that's right, that's right!
I don't think he can last more than three moves against our brother Zhang! "
"Humph!
He's just a student like us. What's there to be proud of?
What's so great about him? "
…
The table next to Li Mo's was filled with whispers. They all entered the guild after Li Mo left.
Moreover, they were the strongest among those who joined later on!
With so many members, cliques were bound to form.
And the five at this table formed their own clique, relying on their tyrannical strength to bully the new students. They didn't even care about Ye Fan and the other old students.
With Li Mo's power, he heard every word they said. He sized them up and asked Ye Fan next to him.
"Are those five new members of our guild?"
"Of course they are!
Ever since these kids joined our guild, they've been acting all cocky and cocky.
The other new members and us have all suffered at their hands. Now that you're back, we, the Five Tigers of Fallen Leaf, will show them what we're made of.
Otherwise, us old students will lose all our face! "
"Little Mo, you have to avenge us!"
"Yeah, brother Little Mo!
Those guys are so mean, always teasing me and sister Ziling! "
Li Mo didn't think his question would have such a reaction from his friends.
Without waiting for him to speak, Ye Fan spoke again. However, his voice was extremely soft, as if he was afraid that those people would hear him.
"Li Mo, look at Zhang Yan in the middle.
He was a Level 48 Warrior, the leader of the five.
The other four are Ma Kui, Liu Xi, Wang Xiao, and Di Qiu. Their strength is also around Level 45! "
Li Mo found Ye Fan's cautiousness hilarious.
In the past, this fellow was a person who was not afraid of anything. No one knew why he was acting like this when facing these five people.
But Ye Fan's introduction still piqued Li Mo's interest. His eyes met Zhang Yan's.
Li Mo saw a hint of provocation in his eyes. He sneered and turned to his companions.
"Haha … don't worry. I'm afraid that even if we don't find trouble with them, they will come to us first!"
…
After lunch, Li Mo's group skipped the afternoon training and returned to Li Mo's dorm.
It had been months since anyone lived here, but it was still spotless.
Li Mo walked in and laid on the bed. Months of running had worn him out. He wouldn't change this bed even if he was given an eighth level demon core.
"Home at last!"
"Li Mo, you're so lucky!
Ever since you left, our Ziling has been cleaning your room every day.
Our Zi Lingwei cleans your room every day. If I could have such a heart-warming girlfriend, it would be worth it even if I had to shorten my life by ten years! "
Ye Fan was both envious and emotional. He then turned to Lan Xin.
"Get lost!"
Lan Xin replied snappily.
At that moment, Zi Ling, who had remained silent all this while, blushed. She was a little embarrassed by Ye Fan's words.
"Thank you!
Zi Lingwei. "
Li Mo's heart skipped a beat. He stood up and walked over to Zi Lingwei.
"No, I only came to clean when I was free.
It's not as bad as Ye Fan made it out to be! "
"Can't you two wait until we're gone before you're done?
Can't you spare a thought for us single dogs? "
Han Zhe was on the verge of tears, his voice laced with endless jealousy!
Just then, a few figures flashed outside Li Mo's window. They were none other than Zhang Yan's group.
"Oh!
So the champion of the tournament is here. We've prepared a welcoming ceremony for you. I wonder if the champion will do us the honor? "
Zhang Yan's arrogant voice reached Li Mo's group through the window.
"Humph!
Zhang Yan, don't think you can bully us just because you're strong!
We need to catch up on Li Mo's return. We don't have time for your welcoming ceremony! "
Ye Fan was furious.
"Heh … loser!
You have no right to speak here. I'm asking Li Mo!
How about it, champion? Will you do us the honor?
This was specially prepared for you by all the new students! "
Ye Fan was ignored. Zhang Yan didn't even spare him a glance.
"You …"
Ye Fan wanted to say something, but Li Mo stopped him.
"Hey!
Ye Fan, since he's so sincere, how can I not go? "
Li Mo was the first to leave the room. Since they came knocking on his door, it wasn't in Li Mo's nature not to go.
Ye Fan and the others quickly followed. However, there was a huge change in their mentality.
From Li Mo's confident tone, they knew Zhang Yan's days of arrogance were over.
Under the lead of Zhang Yan's group of five, they arrived at the field.
It was still early for afternoon classes, but the field was packed with students.
Zhang Yan must've invited them. Of course, there were also some who came just to watch the show.
"Ha-ha … for Zhang Yan to have such a grand welcome, you sure are considerate!"
Li Mo smiled as he looked around.
"Ha-ha … your name has spread far and wide. We've all heard of you even before we came to the guild.
How can we not make it grand? "
Zhang Yan's eyes turned to the students.
"Everyone, this is the champion of the kingdom's martial competition, Li Mo. It is said that before I joined the guild, he was the strongest student here.
Two tigers cannot live on the same mountain, so today we are here to welcome our champion back.
Also, I want to spar with him. I hope you can all bear witness! "
"Alright …"
Zhang Yan's words won the enthusiastic response of the students, and their voices shook the heavens.
"Eh, what's going on?"
Tiger on the Road and the other teachers were all in Han Tianyu's room.
After hearing the shouting outside, he quickly rushed in the direction of the field.
"Chief, it's that Zhang Yan again!
Do you need me to … "
Before Tiger on the Road could finish, he was interrupted by Han Tianyu.
"Zhang Yan is too arrogant. Why not let Little Mo teach him a lesson?"
"But Zhang Yan is at the 48th level. Little Mo …"
"Ha-ha … Little Mo isn't as strong as he looks!
Be at ease as a spectator! "
This time it was Ling Xiyu who cut him off, with Leng Yihan giving him a reassuring look.
"This … alright!"
Tiger on the Road was helpless and could only be a spectator.
